What's the current sentiment regarding the security and privacy of BTSync?
It's closed source and proprietary so it is no solution for me.
And DropBox isn't ?

#113I'm as anti-war as the next guy; we military veterans tend to be more so than most, and I've gotten even more so as I've gotten older. Still, there are those who appreciate that: (A) political leaders aren't supermen and -women. Like all of us, they have to make the best decisions they can with the limited information available to them at the time; (A1) [ADDED:] the signal-to-noise ratio can be problematic; the avail…
The bush admin asserted that it could detain anyone without a trial and torture them. You know, they were trying to do good. We should just let that slide.

#114This is like being in the same boat with someone that caused a massive amount of people's life. Maybe that person has nothing against to you, or harmed you, and she can even be a the perfect captain for the boat.
But personally, If i have the option of another boat to board on, I would rather not be on the same one with her.

> Unless a company is actively hurting people, I'm going to choose what I use based on the quality of the product, not on a board member's past Seems like it did not work so well with Mozilla recently. And that guy there did not kill anyone either, even indirectly.
Uh we have all killed indirectly. Do you pay taxes?
I'm not American, and the country where I pay taxes does not wage wars in foreign countries as far as I know.

We have been using https://copy.com without any issue.
It's an American company (Barracuda Inc.)
You'd think that by now there's be more than enough incentive to use services from non-US companies, and therefore to start such companies outside the US. Where are they?

#117When looking to grow our board, we sought out a leader who could help us expand our global footprint. Condoleezza sure left a global footprint in the Middle East alright. Hate do this Dropbox, but time for me to move on. Edit: Suggestions for a Dropbox substitute?

#119The only real alternative is building your own. I have, it was fun and it mostly works.
But suggesting that Box.com, Microsoft or Google are more trustworthy is misleading.

#120Dropping Mozilla because Eich is anti-gay-marriage made sense to me because Mozilla is the beacon of open source. Mozilla belongs to us in a very personal way, many of us have contributed code to Firefox personally. But Condi Rice joining a completely private Dropbox as a board member - this is a non-issue. I'm as strongly anti-Bush administration and anti-war in general (especially the Iraq War - good grief) as anyo…
This sounds like holding non-profits to higher standards than corporates. That seems a strange and grossly unfair thing to do, ultimately counterproductive to the very purpose of non-profits. Of course, when it comes to their core values you have to hold non-profits to high standards - e.g. Mozilla on the open web. But when it comes to things unrelated to their mission... Why should they be any more perfect than a fo…
This is rapidly turning very ugly, and I can't stand it. Is being "anti-gay" or "pro-war" or even just "republican" the new Communism? The new witchcraft?
